Bolivia photo requirements

Bolivia photo requirements are set by Dirección General de Migración (DIGEMIG, migracion.gob.bo). We publish 2 documents: 1 passport and 1 visa. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in). Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-10).

Passports

Bolivian Passport Photo (no print listed by Migración; ICAO 35 x 45 mm reference)For a Bolivian ordinary passport (libreta de pasaporte corriente) issued for the first time or renewed at a Dirección General de Migración departmental administration, by adults with their cédula and by minors with their parents. The authority's trámite data names no photograph and does not say who takes the picture, so this page is a reference frame, not a published format. Not for the cédula de identidad (SEGIP), a Bolivian visa (which has its own 4 x 4 cm rule) or a driving licence.35 x 45 mmnot publishedverified 2026-10-10
